Bugs and beasties plague the Look Out

Young adventurers had a taste of the outdoors this week at a ‘bugs and beasties’ event at The Look Out Discovery Centre.

Boys and girls and their parents learned about creatures that live deep in the woods, at the centre in Nine Mile Ride last Wednesday.

In addition to the hands-on science and nature exhibition, the children enjoyed activities including play dough, make-and-take, face and hand painting and storytelling.

Mother Kerry Watson, a regular visitor at the centre, said: “My children love visiting The Look Out, there is so much to do and it is a bonus to come on toddler days, with the extra make-and take activities story telling and face painting.”

Councillor Iain McCracken, executive member for culture, corporate services and public protection at Bracknell Forest Council, said: “A visit to The Look Out Discovery Centre is always a great day out. Bugs and beasties are fascinating.”
